Throwback Thursday: Point Conception Lighthouse

Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

February 24, 2022 03:00 AM

Pictured above is one of the many murals we saw on our pleasant journey to Lompoc, last September. A friend of ours mentioned that he was going to take his family to visit Lompoc and we recommended some of our adventure.

Point Conception, considered sacred ground by the Chumash, is the headland where California’s coast goes from a north-south orientation to east-west, making a natural division between Southern and Northern California.

Ever since the Gold Rush Days, the Point Conception Lighthouse has guarded the treacherous Pacific waters where the Santa Barbara Channel and Pacific Ocean meet on the western edge of Santa Barbara County. Such a dangerous place for mariners, Point Conception was dubbed The Cape Horn of California.

There are many other murals we had not seen on our visit last year. We have it on our agenda for later this year. Happy Thursday!

Hard to beat the charm and romance of a lighthouse. What a wonderful mural. Good that you are going back for more exploration.

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel - Love that mural. I learned more about Point Conception. I can't recall if we have been there in our travels up and down the coast many times. Happy Thursday.

That is a beautiful mural Ron and Alexandra, reminiscent of ship life and a coastal town. Had not heard the name Lompoc before, now I have!

I love murals that are created like that one. Up in Old Town Folsom, there is a mural painted in that same style, of a Folsom scene from back in the day.
